Hi all!

I've just fell off the March bus last night and feeling Sad. There is another bus for April but I didn't see any familiar names on it and I know a few old friends fell off the March bus so I thought I'd start my own bus (first one I've really started!)

So I'm handing round the Wine and Biscuit and sitting at the back 'til AF
buggers off finishes her lovely visit!

I'm out :(

AstroNess · 21/07/2011 10:11

Hi

I'd like to jump on this fine bus please. Have brought some cakes with me.
Here's my bits:
AstroNess (28) ttc#1 CD21 AF due 28th July ish

I did a test this morning BFN. I know it's way before AF due, but I seem to have a long luteal phase, as I ovulated on the 8th. I checked online, and apparently today would be the first day I might see something. Anyway, nada.

However, just been to the loo and have a bit of spotting. Could this be an implantation bleed? AF not due for another week. Sore boobs and crampy? I hope so.

HorseyGirl1 · 21/07/2011 10:35

AstroNess, sounds promising... fx crossed for you!

Sorry to CosmicMouse. Maybe next month will be the one...

Cutting out coffee and tea unless decaff from now on. Don't know if it will make any difference but maybe I'll sleep better if I do. OPK seems to be increasing so at least something is positive! Wish it was something else though.

AstroNess · 21/07/2011 11:51

I meant to say I'm CD 32. It's the 21st today. Doh. Clearly baby brain!

bluebell82 · 21/07/2011 16:44

hi ladies well got 2 v.v.vfaint bfp today so fingers crossed have no idea when my period is due had last bleed 27th june, then stopped pill half way through and had withdrawal bleed 11th july, had lots of 'trying' fri, sat and sun and implantation bleed yesterday so tested as the bleed was the sign with both previous pregnancies.... so i'll keep you posted, feel dog rough today and having two fiesty toddlers is somewhat challenging! Grin

180 · 21/07/2011 20:14

evening ladies. congrats bluebell!

180 · 21/07/2011 20:16

Astroness, sorry to hear you are out but fingers crossed for you next month and Wine and {{{hugs}}}.

I've just realised today is CD13 and DP is out on the tiles. Grrr. Get. Home. Now. Mr. We shall see.. have just texted him! Smile.

180 · 21/07/2011 20:18

I've never been on a bus before I and I would really like to join this one if OK. Have been trying for #4 since Feb to no avail as yet. Neverhave a clue when I actually ovulate but have to admit I was a smidgen dissapointed when AF arrived on Wed 2 days late. A approaching this month with renewed hope so I have added my stats to the list below

randommummy · 22/07/2011 14:17

Blush sorry, have just realised, in my newness, I have added myslef to an early list and the current list is much longer.

FloydieDoydie · 22/07/2011 20:11

Well, the wait go to me and I tries a teat this morning (eBay cheapo multipack) - BFN Sad

I am hoping its just too early to tell yet though....

I am having a shit time at work right now and I'd love to be able to have a count down to help me stick it out! Wink

FloydieDoydie · 22/07/2011 20:12

blimmin iPhone - I tried a test even!

AstroNess · 23/07/2011 10:12

Floydie sorry to hear about your BFN. It's not over until AF arrives though.

I, on the otherhand, think my spotting might actually be AF putting in some rather random, half-hearted appearence. There's not as much blood as I would ever normally get with AF, but on the otherhand, this is the 3rd day of spotting and I can't believe anything would stick around with all this.

I've not hand a cycle of this length for as long as I can remember. Who knows what's going on Sad

AstroNess · 23/07/2011 18:50

Alas, it is the old hag AF. That's me out. According to the due date calculator I would now be having a May baby.

Ah well. At least I can have some wine this week.

Onto the next month Smile

180 · 23/07/2011 20:18

Sorry to hear that Astro, enjoy the wine and good luck! I must admit when I fell off last months bus the first thing I thought of was wine Grin.

Congrats on the smiley face Byrnsie.. am in similar boat.. busy weekend ahead Grin

180 · 24/07/2011 11:36

And now the wainting game

lalabaloo · 24/07/2011 15:54

Congratulations to Geeza and Bluebell and comiserations to all those who are out of the running this month.

Fertility friend is totally confused, don't think my temperature taking is going well at all! And I have tried ov sticks this month which just give me random nearly positive lines mixed with barely there lines. And I haven't noticed any EWCM which I usually notice (I assume this is usually around the time I ovulate) Anyone any ideas? I am just going to keep trying at the moment because I don't know that I have ovulated yet, although according to FF I should have on Thursday based on my usual cycle

Welcome to the Mini-Bus! Don't think this month will be my month. Got my high on Friday and husband decides to get plastered on the dog-end of a bottle of whisky and a bottle of wine we had while emailing his chum in England until 3 in the morning. BAH!!! And once again GAH!!! Oh well, maybe better to just go with flow. xx

Imustbecrazy26 · 24/07/2011 21:20

Posted this on the other April thread by mistake meant to post on here ooppps!!!

Hi all,

Well got 8 days left of 2ww no symptoms or anything at the minute not sure if that a good thing or a bad thing. But Dp's mum asked his brothers partner if i was pregnant not sure what to think of that and today when we went for lunch she asked me if i was feeling unwell maybe she knows something i dont?

Hope everyone else is well.sorry to those that have fallen off!!

Hey all,

Sorry to those who have fell off, and good luck to those still waiting.

I managed SWI on Fri night and sat morning (got my smiley fri morning) I'm hoping this will be enough to get a BFP this month.

180 I guess we are waiting together. I reckon AF would be due about 6th Aug. And so the 2ww begins Hmm I am 3DPO today! Might try a sneeky swi tonight just in case Wink

180 · 25/07/2011 10:39

morning all, my last af was 9th june, so I think that makes me due around 6th too. Like lalaloo I didn't have any ewcm this month and am not testing so no idea where I am on dpo terms. Both previous babies were conceived on CD13 so fingers crossed. Managed to swi on CD 13 and 15. Maybe I should do another one tonight too Byrnsie. God it's all so romantic isn't it?! I just hope DH has no idea what is going on in my head and is just enjoying the regular activity, but I think he probably does Grin. Off to do some conception googling..

Bleats · 25/07/2011 11:14

Hello - brand new to MN and only in month 2 of TTC. Would love to join this particular bus although it is all still early days.

All this talk of ovulation dates, fertile days and BBT (seems like a lot of diary management) makes me realise that this getting pregnant thing is a little more complicated than expected. Isn't it suposed to be as easy as a split condom...

That said had just two small glasses of pimms yesterday and felt wasted. Also not feeling generally very well. Far too early for that to mean anything, but.

Bleats (31) TTC#1 AF due 8 Aug (ish)
